Creating a Consistent System of Lights - Joshua Benghiat Lighting Design

Use BeamViz to select the proper position, beam angle, and focus of one light. You may find it useful to have a paper section in front of you, use BeamViz Sections with a Vectorworks section, or to examine the beam in a 3D side view. Hint: BeamViz also computes the distance and angle to the face.
Set the beam’s fixed parameter to Throw & Light Location .
You can also use the menu command Cycle BamViz Redraw Mode , which can have a keyboard shortcut, to cycle the fixed parameter.
You can now duplicate, duplicate array, or option/alt-drag the beam, and the instrument location will move, keeping the shape of the beam constant.
You can still make adjustments to the Beam’s hanging location control point while in Throw & Light Location mode.
